Blurb:

Jed Chance is the lead
singer of Black Lace, a very successful rock band. It's gone through a few
lineup changes: first, Jed was outed by a former bandmate, and now they're
looking for another new member. That's when Donnie comes to audition.

Donnie is ten years younger than Jed, and he's
beautiful, with a complicated past. He instantly gets a crush on Jed, but is
afraid to act on it. Still, Jed and Donnie can't keep away from each other. But
getting together isn't their only problem: Jed has attracted a dangerous
stalker, who means to do Jed serious harm.

Reading about yourself on the Internet might
be a bad idea -- masochistic even -- but during the audition break, Jed has the
urge to see the latest gossip. He's found an article that starts with a recap
of Black Lace's history; his history.

Lead singer of Black Lace,
Jed Chance, shocked the world when he confirmed that he is, in fact, gay.
Rumors started when ex-Black Lace member Bert Goode sold his story about his
affair with the married man.

Jed winces, because it hadn't
been that simple, and because Bert's betrayal still hurts, even though it's
been nine years. Jed skips over the speculation of why he'd played it straight,
marrying Jamie Pierce, his now ex-wife and manager.

At the time, it seemed like
the scandal would be the end of Black Lace, but two years after they went on
"hiatus" the band was back with a new guitarist, and a new attitude.
Mrs. Cherry Lee was a welcome addition to the band, and a breath of fresh air.
The once great rock band was back again, delivering some memorable music.

But now Cherry Lee has
retired from the band to spend more time with her family, having given birth to
three children during her seven years in the band. Cherry Lee and the rest of
her bandmates all claim to be parting on good terms. But what this reporter
wants to know is what will happen to Black Lace now that Cherry Lee is gone.

The band's record company
claims this isn't the end of Black Lace; there will be another tour soon and
even a new album. Who will step into Cherry Lee's shoes? And will it be the
same? Better? Worse? Watch this space.

L.J.
Hamlin is a twenty-something (getting older every day) author, who has been
writing all her life, mainly in notebooks no one else ever saw. Then she
discovered M/M groups online and was encouraged by friends to share her
stories. After a while (and with a lot of pushing) she grew brave enough to
attempt getting published. Now she shares her stories with others and hopes
never to stop. L.J. loves cats and pretty much all animals, is a collector of
many things, often weird, but most of all books.
